[P-Marlowe]

This is supposed to be a dialogue. I asked you a question. You did not answer it, but instead asked me a question. If you would be so kind as to answer my question, then I will answer yours. Deal?

So here it is again:

Just so we know where you are coming from... Do you literally believe the story of Noah? Do you literally believe the story of Jonah?

After you give your answer, then I will answer your question.

Yes, I believe that the biblical account of the ark and the account of Jonah is true. Do I also believe that they are metaphors, giving the discerning student a deeper understanding of biblical truth? yes.
